Police find French toddler nabbed from Bali hotel in Indonesia

INDONESIAN police have arrested an East Timorese woman for allegedly kidnapping a French two-year-old on the tourist island of Bali.

Kuta Police Chief Major Agus Tri Waluyo said on Friday that Joaninha Maria Sonia Gonzales was accused of abducting the two-year-old boy from his hotel room on Wednesday night while his father was sleeping.

Gonzales, 33, allegedly told authorities she wanted to care for the child. But Waluyo says police are investigating other motives, including possible human trafficking.

Gonzales was arrested on Thursday at a rented house and the boy was found unharmed with her East Timorese boyfriend, who was being questioned, he said.

Police say Gonzales returned to the hotel with the boy's father, from the French island of Reunion, after meeting in a bar.
